T+A SD 3100 HV Streaming DAC

The reference streaming DAC
The SD 3100 HV is a puristic converter / streamer and is identical to the SDV 3100 HV except for the preamplifier section.
In an HV system, it acts as a top-quality player and converter for all conceivable digital sources. It is connected to the P 3000 HV preamplifier or the PA 3100 HV integrated amplifier via one of its analog outputs. If you want to play CDs or SACDs, the reference drive PDT 3100 HV is connected to the SD 3100 HV.
The SD 3100 HV or an entire HV system is operated with the F 3100 remote control or one of the T + A apps.

technology
Because more and more audiophile music lovers use high-quality headphones, we have developed a particularly good and powerful, analog headphone amplifier in HV technology that works entirely in Class A mode and has outstanding sound properties. The connection sockets for 6.3 mm jack plugs and high-quality, four-pole symmetrical Pentaconn plugs are located on the front.
Like all HV devices, the SD 3100 HV is made of pure aluminum without ferromagnetic materials and has five compartments, separated by aluminum partitions, in which the motherboard with digital inputs, the D / A converter with analog output stage, the analog power supply, the digital power supply and The control with the bright display and sensor buttons are housed in the massive front.
